*Family*

I'm

So lonely

As I miss dearly

My dear loving Family

I'm working in Hongkong, far away

Foreign land that gives me no choice but to stay

A place where I'm fit to work to support my baby

Praying for strength, protection and good health is my only way

To survive this loneliness in this life I need to be brave and stay

Being a solo mother whose heart is full of courage every day

The conundrum in this sad world of struggles, and dark dismay

My sundry soul has a price that I do need to pay

Someday I believe I will reward sweetly Just keep fighting to myself, I say

I know this will end someday

With sanguinity

Within my

Soul.
